Abstract:
In this work, we highlight two issues that have to be taken into consideration for accurate thermal modelling with the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, namely the tissue interfaces and the staircasing effect. The former appears less critical in the overall accuracy of the results, whereas the latter may have an influence on the worst-case approach used in numerical dosimetry of non-ionizing radiation.
